Humphrey Bogart by Jonathan Coe
Behavior-modifying lights? Where did they come from - and why are they here? Six teens investigate these lights, which they dub 'Shades'. With the guidance of a wise Purple Shade, the Aureaders learn about the Shades and experience enhanced abilities.Fara sees fairies. Mike shape-shifts. Ben can transport himself anywhere on the planet. Barbara can access any knowledge or information in the world. Kat is able to manifest anything she wants - and Joyce can defy gravity.
The group soon falls prey to a gang of vicious bullies. The bullies' cruel actions toward the Aureaders quickly intensify into a horrific tragedy, which will require the teens to uncover the Shades' ultimate secret to put the pieces back together.
Jonathan Coe was born in Birmingham, UK, in 1961. He began writing at an early age. His first surviving story, a detective thriller called The Castle of Mystery, was written when he was eight. His first published novel was The Accidental Woman in 1987, but it was his fourth, What a Carve Up!, that established his reputation as one of England's finest comic novelists, winning the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in 1985 and being translated into many languages. Seven bestselling novels and many other awards have followed, including the 2005 Samuel Johnson Prize for Like A Fiery Elephant, a biography of the experimental novelist, B. S. Johnson. Jonathan lives in London with his wife and two daughters. Chiara Coccorese, born in Naples, Italy, in 1982, is an artist and photographer who explores the issues of existence, time and spirituality. Her works have been exhibited in numerous museums and art shows in Italy and abroad, among them: National Archaeological Museum; Museo della Permanente; Palazzo Ducale; Museo MADRE; Pristine Gallery; Galleria Dino Morra; Foto Grafia Festival; Galleria Paolo Erbetta; Art Rawgallery in New York; and many more.
